You didn't post any error messages, link to a git tree, or detailed
information so no we can't help you.

General tips:

.h files don't need to be listed anywhere manually.  Dependencies are
picked up automatically during the build process.

Use "make V=1" to see the full command-lines that make is running.  You
can then re-run just a single command-line manually, if necessary, to
help troubleshoot the problem.

Look up the compiler/linker error messages online and try to understand
why you are getting them.

Look at ./configure and the output files it generates to understand how
optional features are enabled/disabled.  For example, look at
config-host.mak, x86_64-softmmu/config-target.mak,
./x86_64-softmmu/config-devices.mak.

Learn about gcc -I and header search paths if the compiler cannot find
your header file.

Good luck!

Stefan
